How Much Should You Spend on Gifts For Your Groomsmen?
Very Nice.. How Much?
Your wedding party has been with you since the beginning, so giving each member of your group a thoughtful gift as a token of appreciation and a sweet memento of your wedding is always the right move. This begs the question though, how much to spend?
Budget Considerations
Consider two main things when budgeting for wedding party gifts: how much your budget will allow, and how much your wedding party is spending to be a part of your special day. The first question is the most important—spend what you can, remembering that it's really the thought that counts. But do ask yourself what you've been asking financially of your wedding party.
Depending on your wedding, they could already be paying for a plane ticket, hotel room, suit, and shoes—not to mention the engagement party, bachelor party, your wedding and shower gifts, and more. You're certainly not expected to cover what they've spent, but you should be spending enough to say, "I appreciate the time, effort, and money you've put into our wedding."
Somewhere between $50 and $100 should be enough for a great gift!
What About the Best Man?
The best man typically receives a bit more lavish gift than the others, as it's typically their job to act as the go-to person for pre-wedding events and more. Consider spending a little extra on them for the extra mile they’ve gone for you.
Deciding what gifts to give your groomsmen is never easy, and will require some thought. First of all, you should find something personal for each person. This does not need to be a one-size-fits-all all scenario. You want your groomsmen to know that you took the time to find a gift specifically for them and should consider whether the item will be of value to your groomsmen after the ceremony.
Groomsmen Gift Ideas
Grooms also are known for giving gifts of something they can have for the ceremony such as a pocket knife, watches, or sneakers. A personalized gift, especially if the wedding is at an out-of-town destination is always a hit. Other grooms like to give flasks, personalized beer steins, and glasses for their friends to use and enjoy during and after the wedding.
Of course, the gifts do not need to be wedding-specific. Anything is suitable, if it is useful, creative, and chosen with care. When deciding, ask yourself a simple question: “Is this something I would want?”. Let that question be your guide when choosing appropriate gifts for your groomsmen.
Picking out gifts for your groomsmen can be time-consuming, especially since you want to make the gifts special for every person standing up in your party. You want to put in the time and effort in picking out great gifts but don’t want to stress about having to decide what to buy.
